In addition most of the above cuts, these were asked by Houston Grand Opera recently:

Mozart Clarinet Concerto
Mendelssohn - Midsummer Night's Dream Scherzo.
Not often asked, but one to look out for - Berg's opera, Wozzeck.

Having just listened to the Metropolitan Opera's (delayed) broadcast on Sunday night (we get them a month behind the US/Europe). The opera in question was La Traviata - a wonderful performance, indeed. Boy the orchestra is certainly highly polished ... and that fiendish clarinet part (two clarinets) in 6/8 came out effortlessly - who are the met's clarinets?

Ben Armato, retired clarinetist of the Met Opera, has a studies book of Operatic excerpts for Clarinet. It is sold thru several of the WW.org sponsors/retailers.
